The romance of indulging in fine wine at a luxurious hideaway in the Maldives

Text by the editorial team of MOOK Travel & Lifestyle Network, compiled and reported

The Maldives — a place you must visit at least once in your lifetime. Beyond the breathtaking seascape, the relaxation of spa treatments, and the dreamlike, colorful underwater world, the experience of savoring gourmet food and fine wine is simply irresistible. In 2014, Bohai Travel exclusively launched “Midsummer Fun Fest,” offering guests a chance to explore five Maldivian [Wine Tasting Hideaways] and even treating them to a glass of fine wine in a treehouse or an underwater restaurant. This summer, five top Maldivian brand hotels are turning up the excitement, immersing guests in a blissfully tipsy atmosphere for lasting happiness.

Viceroy Maldives

Since its opening in April 2012, Viceroy Maldives has won the favor of many celebrities as their go-to accommodation for Maldivian holidays, thanks to its refreshing comfort, elegant furnishings, and homely service. The hotel creates a high-end, exclusive, and luxurious holiday environment that allows distinguished guests to fully unwind. The main structure was designed by renowned designers Yabu Pushelberg, who have also created the W Hotel series, Tiffany boutiques, and Louis Vuitton stores. The designers skillfully incorporated the island’s natural scenery and constructed the main building using simple, fashionable geometric elements, giving the resort an unprecedented level of refined elegance.

The Viceroy Tree House, located at the southernmost part of the resort, exudes an exotic Middle Eastern vibe, offering views of the sun setting into the Indian Ocean. It's an ideal spot for post-dinner drinks.
